Pursuit
Roy Prescott is all alone in the world, living lies, making plans, meticulously going about his job. Prescott’s job is to hunt people down . . . and then to kill them. Now he has been hired to find a monster–a man who is as alone as he is, as smart, as methodical, as deadly, and even more arrogant. Prescott knows that to find this monster he must get inside his head, get him angry, and force him to come after him. Soon he gets his wish. With a little luck, the killer even makes a mistake–trying to prove a point to Prescott. But Prescott needs no proof. He already knows what he’s up against. He knows that innocent people are going to die. The only question now is which one of them will get the first shot–which one will get the last. . . .
Thomas Perry 's Summer Reading List
The Island of the Day Before
by Umberto Eco
I had read The Name of the Rose and Foucault's Pendulum, but had somehow missed this one when it came out in 1996. I've started it, and I love it.
Bones of Coral
by James W. Hall
Sanibel Flats
by Randy Wayne White
This book and the previously mentioned were both given to me in Sarasota by journalist/photographer/bon vivant Paul Roat, who considers them examples of the sort of books I should read to broaden my my knowledge of Florida writers beyond Carl Hiaasen and Dave Barry.
The Hole in the Universe: How Scientists Peered over the Edge of Emptiness and Found Everythng
by K.C. Cole
My wife, who reads much more science writing than I do, is a great admirer of K.C. Cole, and I've liked the articles she's written for the L.A. Times. I've been curious about this book since it came out in 2001.
Kill Two Birds and Get Stoned
by Kinky Friedman
This is reputed to be different from the other Kinky Friedman books, and I think that the Kinkster is one of those people we all ought to do our part and keep an eye on.
